..and more

At the time of assembly of the suspension we went with reproduction control arms to keep things moving forward.

I have the original upper and lower control arms and I will eventually degrease and de-rust to determine if they are candiates for rebuild.

Exhaust system is made up of components from a few sources as going with the entire Scott Fuller system was getting pricey.
H-pipe and mid pipes are from Precision
Tail pipes and Chrome Tips are from Fuller
All clamps, brackets and hardware are from Fuller
Hi flow transverse muffler are from Waldron and it sounds fantastic!

I still have some decals to apply in the engine compartment.

We restored the 82-1388 and 82-1389 winged decal Konis that the second owner installed on the car and reinstalled them.

Had to buy hoses with solid white stripe and paint on the red stripe as it has been noted in the forums that you cannot purchase reproduction heater hoses with a continuous red stripe.

Complete missing steering assembly was sourced from Chockostang and delivered as shown in pic.
We had an original power steering pump and we also sent that to Chockostang for rebuild.
I obtained a rebuilt date and part number correct steering box from Virginia Mustang.
I purchased a steering column and rebuilt it.  As the steering conversion to manual was to a quick ratio box with a rag joint thus the column was also changed out

Some resto pics

Dave owner of Mustang Madness Motorsports did all the body work, paint and assembly. 
We purchased quarter panels and fenders from Ford in 1990 after my father bought the Shelby.

My Father and I restored/detailed components or sent them out to be restored. 
Mustang Madness Motorsports performed installation for all components on car.

This 67 GT350 1341 was sold by Tasca and my father is the 4th owner.  My father purchased this Shelby in the later 1980s showing 68K miles and it has been in storage up to  2017.  The car had very minor rust with extremely solid floors for the north east.   The 2nd owner bought this car in 1979 and prior owner had it in storage since mid 70s due to gas crunch.  The 2nd owner was housemates with Curt Vogt in Orange CT and around this time the start of the first Cobra Automotive castings, valve covers and oil pans were in the works.  In messaging with the 2nd owner Brett, he told me that he and Curt removed all the power steering to convert to a manual set up, lowered a-arms, installed Konis, true dual exhaust, headers and Hurst shifter.  Yes I had to source all the correct steering components, including steering column and steering box.  Here are some before, during restoration and current pics.

We got #1341 back home this weekend and it was a blast to drive for a few hours yesterday.

I searched the forum a bit and I did not find a pic of the assemblyline hook for the 67 Shelby.

The one in this pic was amongst the parts with our 67 GT350, it was just plated. 
Is this the correct hook for a 67 GT350 with Magstars?

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Hipo z bar
« on: August 25, 2022, 01:06:48 PM »
I have had many service Z bars over the years that cover many applications and they had a zinc finish. The typical assemblyline Z bar of the various years was bare steel. With that said as and I said before I surprising have found more then several 67 GT350, in fact many that were in what appeared to be from a unmolested context that still show evidence of zinc .It has been puzzling. The evidence that I have seen over many years and probably hundreds of 67 GT350's point to at least some that came from the supplier in zinc . I couldn't in clear conscience therefore deduct for zinc on a 67 GT350 application like I would on say a 67 -70 GT500 or other year GT350 applications application given my obsermvations  over the years. Just me.

Following up on this here are some pictures of the Z bar from our 67 GT350.  We covered it in acid and it did fiz (testing for Zinc), Zinc was fully removed and a red paint daub remained.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Power Steering Hoses
« on: August 13, 2022, 10:08:47 AM »
  Hose length, if I have to guess is 6 feet will do your car.  Probably a little less.
    The hose is the issue. 1) as mentioned, it is smooth on the outside, and 2) it is at least twice as thick as fuel line hose. 3) the size I.D. is 3/8
   So, can somebody post where to get some at?

I recall either reading here in a prior post or on concoursmustang that Mansfield Mustang carries this hose.  Can anyone confirm that they carry the correct hose?
